3 Bedroom Home near the eastern NC Wildlife Refuge

ErlaRating, 5 starstoday
Appreciated how clean the house was. We had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay even though we were there on business. Enjoyed watching the swallow swoop around the yard. And we were able to use the grill several times. When we had trouble with the DVD player, help came almost immediately to fix the issue.

Trails End-Home near downtown Beaufort

MichelleRating, 5 stars6 months ago
We loved this place so much! The house was very cute and well decorated. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dog to explore in the mornings. The neighborhood was peaceful and short walk by the water to great bars and restaurants. Each of the rooms were comfortable and the house was stocked with everything we needed!

New 2 Bedroom w 5 Beds | Walk to Beach/Pool/Tennis

BrittanyRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Clean space within walking distance to not only the pool but also the beach which was awesome for the kids! Definitely bring a wagon for the beach goodies and cooler to camp out with the waves for the day. The outdoor shower was awesome for keeping sand out and rinsing things off before putting them back in the car!

Beach cabin with water view & Ice Machine

PhilipRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Brian is great host, very responsive. There was a small issue with the patio screen. We let him know mostly to avoid being charged for damage, but he got it fixed immediately. The place was spotless and simple. Loved the icemaker, great feature for any fishing or beach destination!

Tiny House on semi-oceanfront lot

CherylRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
I had a wonderful stay at Tiny Aloha. I went to have a solo retreat- and this space was perfect for me. Everything was super clean and aesthetically, well put together. There is great attention to detail from the wood work, the construction to the furnishings and art work. I really loved the space. Tami was responsive, clear with her communications and super helpful. One of the best parts for me was the outdoor shower. It's Spring time, so it was a bit cool and windy while I was there- but it was still amazing and I was surprised how much I liked it. The hang out area below is really nice for when you need to get off the beach- a very relaxing area that has everything you might want. I also loved having use of the bikes and beach chairs. I would definitely return- only I'd bring my husband next time- he needs to try the outdoor shower!

OBX Honeymoon BEACH Escape Hot~Tub 2minBeach

LisaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Anchor-In 2 is perfect. Its renovation was done with quality and taste. It is private and quiet yet close to the beach and walkable to coffee. You have views of the ocean. We used the very clean hot tub twice a day. We rested well. The hosts were proactive and very interested in making sure we had an excellent experience. We would definitely stay again.

Cabana #3, 84 Sunset Dr, Ocracoke NC

TinaRating, 5 stars4 days ago
This is a perfect place to stay while on Ocracoke! Very comfortable bed and well appointed kitchen. We enjoyed a swim in the pool too! This spot is quiet and lovely. We enjoyed our morning coffee around the pool and enjoyed the smell of jasmine that was starting to open up and listened to the mourning doves. Easy walk to Ocracoke Coffee and The Back Porch restaurant. Don’t forget to shop at Bella Fiore and Books to be Red. We will be back!

Beachfront: Light and Waves atop the Dunes

AlexRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This house was perfect for our group of seven. There are three private bedrooms and 4 bunks in the fourth room which worked well for us. Kitchen amenities were great and the beds were very comfortable! We want to go back. The walk to the beach was short, though there was some serious dune erosion when you arrive at the beach, so did require some added effort to scale steep dune when carrying things to and from the beach (would prove difficult for anyone with mobility issues). Would highly recommend this house. Thanks Karl!

Beech I Told U So! New Build

RocioRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Our stay at Timothy’s place was excellent. The weather was terrible during our stay due to a tropical storm, but the beautiful house made up for the weather. Timothy has thoroughly thought of every detail in the home. It is beautifully furnished and decorated. It has a great outdoor space. There were plenty of televisions to keep everyone happy given the weather. The hot tub is frequently serviced and clean. It has a very nice outdoor tub as well. The outdoor showers are beautiful and well designed. He has hoses on every level to minimize tracking sand into the house. We felt very relaxed. We would definitely recommend Timothy’s place. Very responsive host. Timothy definitely cares about his property and the comfort of his guests. We would come back and recommend this house.

Crystal Coast Cottage - Beaufort

KevinRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Jesse’s place was perfect for the week my family stayed in Beaufort. It was clean and had everything we needed. The location is great. We rode our bikes to Front Street and Ann Street every day. We also rode around the neighborhood. The neighbors on the left (facing garage) were friendly. The whole neighborhood was friendly and safe. We also enjoyed a couple games of pickleball. The court was directly across the street. I will stay here again. Thank you.

MarissaRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Our long weekend stay was peaceful and just what we needed to recharge. The beach chairs and boogie boards were nice to have for the beach! The walk to the beach was a little confusing at first, but once we found the right path it was very quick. Overall we loved our stay, especially the sleepover environment with the loft!

Memoria Bella~Hot tub~fire pit~basketball hoop

AllisonRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Great location, easy to walk to the beach or the path on main road to local restaurants. Beautiful sunsets from the upper deck looking towards the sound and sunrise if you walk down to the beach path. The beach was beautiful and uncrowded. The beds were comfy and we had everything we needed for a long weekend. Bonus that we didn’t have to rent linens and towels as with other beach rentals. In fact, the beach chairs & beach towels meant less I had to pack. Though the yard is not fenced, there is was plenty of nice grass for the pup and the kids to play ball in. We are looking forward to coming back next season.

Your guide to Ocracoke

Introduction

With pristine beaches, fabulous fishing, and real pirate coves, Ocracoke Island is arguably the most intriguing of North Carolina’s Outer Banks islands. Anchoring the barrier islands’ southern tip, the island is a waterfront getaway full of nature and culture, as well as its own distinct dialect, called High Tider. Ocracoke was known as a pirates’ hideaway long before it was settled in the mid-18th century, primarily because its terrain was more amenable to hiding bandits than fostering new construction. Blackbeard the Pirate was one of the island’s regulars, right up until his death there in 1718. Today, Ocracoke is a treasure for visitors thanks to its 16-mile white sandy beach, charming village with a storybook history, and more galleries and antique shops per capita than anywhere else in the region.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Ocracoke

Ocracoke experiences a subtropical climate, which translates to hot, humid summers and dry, mild winters. The most popular time to stay in one of the island’s vacation rentals is in summer, when the town is fully operational and visitor-friendly. Temperatures typically climb into the upper 80s Fahrenheit, often accompanied by humid air. The region’s strong winds tend to keep climes comfortable enough to enjoy all of the outdoor recreation Ocracoke has to offer. The island more or less shuts down in the winter, with only a few businesses open year-round. Winter temperatures hover in the 40s and 50s, seldom dropping any lower. Beware of hurricane season, which runs from late summer to late fall in Ocracoke. Pay close attention to local weather reports if you’re planning a visit during this time.


Top things to do in Ocracoke

Ocracoke Lighthouse

The Ocracoke Lighthouse, completed in 1823, stands proud over the Pamlico Sound. It’s the oldest operating lighthouse in the state of North Carolina, and the second-oldest in the country. Though it’s not open for climbing, it’s a popular spot for sunset snapshots.

Silver Lake

Called the Creek by locals, Silver Lake is a can’t-miss landmark in Ocracoke: all three ferries pass through it en route to dock. Beyond its transportation duties, Silver Lake is a popular spot for kayaking and fishing, and during the summer months Silver Lake Harbor hosts a maker’s market every Wednesday.

Portsmouth Island

The southernmost barrier island on the Outer Banks is so remote that it’s often overlooked. From Ocracoke, the journey to Portsmouth is less than 45 minutes by passenger ferry, and it’s a sight to see. There are no vacation homes, services, or businesses on this rustic island, and the village has been a literal ghost town for decades. What it lacks in civilization, it makes up for in quiet, remote bliss, especially if you like fishing and camping.
